Layers
Usually at least three layers are identified as follows:
- Inner layer provides comfort by keeping the skin dry. Also called base layer or first layer.
- Mid layer provides warmth. Also called insulating layer.
- Shell layer protects from wind and water. Also called outer layer which works as protection over the other two layers.
Often clothes combine two adjacent layers, as in the case of warm undergarments that provide both comfort and insulation.

Famous quotes containing the word layers:
“I think its the real world. The people were writing about in professional sports, theyre suffering and living and dying and loving and trying to make their way through life just as the brick layers and politicians are.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“The force of a death should be enormous but how can you know what kind of man youve killed or who was the braver and stronger if you have to peer through layers of glass that deliver the image but obscure the meaning of the act? War has a conscience or its ordinary murder.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
